Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Eleanor Bryant was born in 1685 in Virginia; died in 1732 in Edgecomb County, North Carolina.

    Notes:

    Her surname is not proven. Was she Sarah Valentine?
    SARAH's will was made in Isle of Wight Co., VA, on 20 Mar 1733/34. She left the bulk of her estate to her grandson, JOHN BRASWELL, JR., "except one Negro man named LIMESTONE," whom she left to her daughter, JANE Her son, JOHN BRASWELL, SR. was named as executor and caretaker until his son became of age (21). His son, BENJAMIN was to have the first mare colt born and a slave. She also names JOHN's other children in equal shares of the estate: MARY, WILLIAM and SAMPSON. She appointed her on JOHN and his son, JOHN, as executors. Witnesses were RICHARD BLOW, JR., SAMUEL SMITH and SAMUEL WILLIS. The will was probated 26 May, 1735 (Isle of Wight Will Book 4, p. 64/65). An undocumented article in "Following the BRASWELLs in America 1600-1983," by Dr. R.B. BRASWELL identifies RICHARD's wife as SARAH SAMPSON and gives their wedding date as 16 Jan 1673. No source was given and "Southside Virginia Families," by JOHN BENNETT BODDIE doesn't identify her surname. Is she was a SAMPSON, she might have been a daughter of JAMES SAMPSON and ELIZABETH BARCROFT of Isle of Wight Co., VA. He is the only man named SAMPSON in that area who was the correct age to be her father. ELIZABETH immigrated in 1647 with CHARLES BARCROFT who may have been her brother. Other SAMPSONs in the Isle of Wight Co., VA area were ELIZABETH, who married THOMAS CLARK and ANN, who married EDWARD MOSELEY. EDWARD MOSELEY was very wealthy. He died in New Hanover Co., NC and owned land in Edgecombe CO., NC.

    Eleanor married Richard Braswell about 1703. Richard (son of Richard Braswell and Sarah Valentine Sampson) was born in 1679 in Isle Of Wright County, Virginia; died before 1758 in Bertie County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
